BACKGROUND
The Historic Jackson Neighborhood Association has taken a proactive role with the city
through the origination of this project idea. On July 24, 2018 Common Council approved
funding through the Great Neighborhoods Program for the Jackson Street Traffic, Safety and
Corridor Study (RES 18-406). In July 2019, staff released a request for proposals to consultants
ultimately receiving five proposals from consultants. Staff reviewed each proposal and
selected Ayres Associates and RDG Planning and Design.
ANALYSIS
The Historic Jackson Neighborhood Association has prioritized this project and will be working
on their neighborhood plan in tandem with this corridor study. The study will analyze the
existing traffic patterns along Jackson Street between Murdock and Church to determine what,
if any, improvements can be made to improve the safety of both vehicular and pedestrian traffic
using the corridor. There will also be a corridor study component of the project for the area
between Murdock Avenue and Highway 41.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funding has already been allocated for this project during the 2018 Great Neighborhoods
Program request in the amount of$59,265.
